of the drugs needed to carry out the execution is about to expire. the department said brown's execution may be the last until they can get a new supply of the anesthetic that only has one dose left. >> apparently they created a situation where they have a three-hour window to carry out the execution before their drugs expire and they may no longer legally use them. >> the 56-year-old brown was convicted of raping and killing a 15-year-old girl in riverside in 1980. if brown's execution is delayed past friday, the state may have to wait until next year when the drug manufacturer said more of the drug will become available. of course today more legal action is expected with appeals in both state and federal court. reporting live at san quentin, christie smith, today in the bay. >> a correction on that. it's not wednesday at 12:01, but thursday at 9:00 p.m., correct?

california enacted the law to make the road safer, but if you believe the research from the highway lost data institute, it's possible that this ban is having the opposite effect. what they did is compared insurance claims in four states. california and three others before and after the ban. it found that in three states, the number of crashes actually increased slightly. california there was a 12% bump among drivers 25 years old and younger. why? here's the theory. before the ban we were able to drive like this. one hand on the wheel and texting. your eyes would be level with the road. now the ban is in effect, people are still texting, but trying to avoid police so they keep the phone down here and you can imagine your eyes are nowhere near the road, not as near as before. they are doing this thing and there is a better chance of getting in an accident. that's the theory. it's not proven and they did

test it out in and they think it might be happening. the institute which is funded by insurance companies will be releasing the study at the governor's highway safety association. it's not expected to receive a warm reception from the state to have enacted the ban. the institute is not challenging the notion that texting and drive suggest not safe. it argues that enforcement sneads to be stepped up. the secretary of transportation calls the study misleading and noting that deaths caused by distracted driving have stopped increasing in states that enacted such a ban. one advocate of safe driving points out it did take years for people to notice the effects of seatbelt laws. bob redell, today in the bay. >> check your phone. look what i sent you. i told him to wrap. time's up. >> at least he is not driving right now.

execution and compare the old procedures to the new procedures that would be used here at san quentin. it's unclear if the review would happen by thursday night when ath bert green brown is scheduled to die by lethal injection for raping and killing a 15-year-old girl in riverside in 1980. the district court had denied a stay of execution the original time at 12 tile time 01 a.m. wednesday. the governor issued a statement saying a reprieve was necessary because an injunction wouldn't even expire until thursday. in short, this is not over quite yet. >> they were forced to delay the execution until thursday to allow albert brown enough time to appeal in his case. >> the appeals court said it appeared the execution date was chose nen part because the state supply of one of the lethal drugs expires on friday.

if brown's execution is delayed past that, the state may have to wait to execute him because the drug's manufacturer said new supplies may not even be available until january. live in san quentin, christie smith, today in the bay. >> thanks for the update there. >> lawyer a lot of questions surrounding this death sentence. when he was told he was going to die, albert green brown was given the option of one injection or a series of three. is there a difference? a law professor at santa clara university joins us to talk about that and this case as it unfoals as we speak. thank you very much for joining us. >> good morning. >> it was interesting that he was given a choice. does that normally happen? >> not only it normally happens, but it's more than interesting. that was not really a legal choice. california law and procedures that were issued by the attorney

general's office were provided for a three-drug procedure and there is no one-drug procedure in california. the fact that the judge gave him a choice of one drug was really something that got pulled out and the state started scrambling to figure out how they could implement that. >> the state has been having problems deciding all of this in the first place. michael morales is the reason that it has been years since someone was put to death. he was supposed to be execute and his appeals are still being heard. why did the state jump in to put brown now to death so quickly? >> that's a question many are asking. even the judge asked that question. everyone expected the judge that the state would come in and ask for a date for mr. morales and if they did, they had to go to the judge and request it. we can only wonder why they chose not to go with mr. morales and went to riverside county and

set an execution date on mr. brown. politics may be playing a part. no one knows what the motivation was. >> do you think can use the same arguments to appeal? >> brown did use the same arguments as morales, but what happened when it went before a judge although he indicated in the morales case, he would have examined it more carefully and looked at the regulations in his opinion on friday. i just don't have enough time to review the regulations before brown's execution date. the judge was willing to let the execution go forward without reviewing the regulations. >> it's interesting. it's pushed back to thursday at 9:00 p.m. now you have the drug manufacturer involve and the lethal cocktail is going to expire on friday. do you think it's going to be carried through? what are the chances? >> the ninth circuit issued an order and said what i think has been on the minds of many of us. why is this procedure being

driven by an expiration date on the drugs. new drugs will be available after the turn of the year and the case was support back saying you need to take a look and compare them to the old procedures that you found unconstitutional and do it without being worried about an expiration date. that's not the careful review we should have in an action of this magnitude. the state is trying to kill someone. the least the court should do is make sure it's done in a constitutional way. >> that's interesting and we are coming under the wire here. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> we want to get the latest on your morning commute. there back ups out there. >> first of all the bay bridge toll plaza and the metering lights are turned on. we are going back to west grand wave slowing approaching with 20 minutes approaching the berkeley

jobless rate and the rest of the economic problems around the country? president obama swinging through several state this is week to pitch ideas which now include $30 billion for small business loans and he signed that yesterday, hoping the small businesses will use the money to free up other resources and hire people. today we will see the president pitching the ideas where he will do a back yard chat. later in wisconsin, a rally to draw youth support, trying to shore up democratic support and help them as they head into november. he has been critical and you will see more as we head into november of the republicans's pledge to america, calling it irsfonl give everyone tax breaks. giving tax breaks to everyone amounts to giving 100,000 check to the wealthy. live from capitol hill, i'm tracie potts, today in the bay. >> thank you so much. >> california and 30 other

states ban particularing and driving in order to prevent accidents. it turns out the bans could actually cause more problems than they prevent. bob redell is live to explain why. bob? >> when california enacted the ban on texting while driving over a year and a half ago, it was supposed to make roads safer. if you believe a study from the institute, it is actually having the opposite effect. the institute compared insurance claims in california and 300 states before and after the bans. it found that in states, the number of crashes actual low increased slightly. california there was a 12% bump in crashes with drivers 25 years old and younger. the theory is that people are ignoring their bans and they are texting while driving. instead of texting up here like you used to when it was legal, they are texting down here to avoid police. they are texting in their lap and obviously their eyes are

further away from the road. there is the increase in the accidents you are seeing because people are not able to react as quickly. the institute which is funded by insurance companies is releasing this information and the study today at the governor's highway. it is not expected to go over well because a lot of states that will be there have enacted the ban on texting and driving. here it is being challenged. the institute does not argue that texting while driving is safe. it's not making the argument, but trying to point out that maybe enforcement needs to be stepped up. the secretary of transportation is calling the study completely misleading, noting that deaths caused by distracted driving have stopped increasing ever since the ban started to go into effect. live here in san jose, today in the bay. >> thanks a lot, bob. it is a problem. >> it is. a lot of distractions out there. remember when you used to just

drive in the car? how many people are out there doing it right now? >> focusing on the roadways and the wires. these are not phone wear e wires. they are taken down after a minor injury accident, but the west nile virus were hanging over the roadway. they very cleared off to the side and no major slowing opposite the commute direction. you have the typical slowing out of hercules and san pablo and clearing by the time you get to the bridge and the golden gate field. things change with the toll plaza. a live look shows you you fill in all the lanes and barely any movement towards the 880 overcrossing. typical for that portion of your east bay commute and lighter than we see on a tuesday. maybe some folks are sparing the air and we have been asking for that. southbound 680 sorted itself out and it stops around this place where you join in. that's great news.
